How true is that most pleasurable things in life are bad for you?Pleasurable things is things that give you happiness and relaxation. It can be a thing or an activity. Different people have their own pleasurable things. Most of them benefit us. Many things in our daily life are pleasurable things. It is just we do not realize it but as we did not do it, we will have a strange feeling . It is simple things that we did which make us feel good. Common examples of it are reading, going for spa, massage and listen to music. Pleasurable things eliminate fear, anxiety and stress. Humans cannot be happy and depressed at the same time. It is impossible. It helps you to fill yourself up with positive energy and the negative has to leave. Fear , anxiety , stress , sadness and so on will just disappear. Pleasurable things can do no harm to all of us as long as we are doing the right things.

Sleeping-in on a rainy day, reading, watching movies, sports and more are the simple pleasurable things for most people. These are the things that we often do. Most of them benefits us. For example, reading increase our knowledge and sports keep us fit. Life is short, do things that give us pleasure when we have free time to enjoy our life. Pleasurable things can only harm irrational people who do something which negatively affect them.

Besides that, you can generate positive energy to other people. Pleasurable things do not only benefit you but it also benefits the people around you. They are positively affected. At the same time, others send positive energy back to you. It creates a better and more happy environment or atmosphere. Thus it becomes a very peaceful place for everyone.

Sex is also one of the pleasurable things in our life. We have become more open minded as time has moved on. Many of us accepted this fact. It is legal to have sex with your love one after marriage. A balance between sex and love need to be created as it can improve...

...speech HowBad Do You Want It?
There was a young man, you know, who wanted to make a lot of money and so he went to this guru, right. And he told the guru you know I wanna be on the same level you are, and the guru said if you wanna be on the same level I’m on, I’ll met you tomorrow at the beach.
So the young man got there 4 A.M. he’s all ready to rock n’ roll. Got on a suit, should of wore shorts. The old man grabs his hand and said: Howbad do you wanna be successful? He said: “Real bad”. He said: Walk on out in the water. So he walks out into the water. Watch this. When he walks out to the water he goes waist deep and goes like this guy crazy.
Hey I wanna make money and he got me out here swimming. I didn’t ask to be a lifeguard. I wanna make money an he got me in water – so he said come on a little further – walked out a little further – then he had it right around this area – the shoulder area – this old man crazy – he making money but he crazy. So he said come on out a little further – came out a little further, it was right at his mouth – my man, I’m not about to go back in, this guy is out of his mind. And the old man said: “I thought you said you wanted to be successful?” He said: “I do.” He said: “Then walk a little further.” He came, dropped...

...or a wall may not protect the development against illegal immigrants.
Other arguments that the coyote resembles illegal immigration are found in Delaney’s column for a nature periodical. In this column, he mentions his own experiences with coyotes and their way of life: “One coyote, who makes his living on the fringes of my community […] has learned to simply chew his way through the plastic irrigation pipes whenever he wants to drink.”(Boyle 212). This is a definite parallel to Cándido, the illegal immigrant. Later on, Cándido does the very same thing as the coyote. He sneaks into the development and steals basic necessities such as water to support his family.
In the same column, Delaney also says that “The coyote is not to blame—he is only trying to survive, to make a living, to take advantage of the opportunities available to him" (Boyle 214). Although Delaney writes about the coyote, his statements could also be applied to Cándido’s lifestyle. In the course of the plot, Cándido becomes an opportunist and takes what he can get. For instance, when a turkey is offered to him, in order to provide for his family’s livelihood Cándido is willing to do anything, even if this means stealing. Thus it becomes clear how Cándido has adapted to his environment, just as the coyote.
Moreover, Delaney says, ”Trapping is utterly useless—even if traps were to be set in every backyard in the country—as countless studies have shown” (Boyle...

...I disagree that money is the most important thing in life. Everything in life requires money, but little did people know there are many other things that should come before it. To some people money means everything to them, to me money is important but it’s not the most important. You need money to survive, to meet our basic needs, to provide for ourselves and our families. Other than that, money is only able to buy you materialistic things, but when it comes to love, happiness, etc. Money is useless.
First of all, I believe that money is the root to all evil. When you have money it either changes you or everyone around you. People who have a lot of money they tend to think that they’re some kind of god, just because they possess a little money. No one should let money shape them to being how they are. So, when people see that you’re all about money, everyone wants to be your friend. Even the ones that barely talk to you or even the ones that walks right past you. How will you know who’s real and whose fake? If you haven’t learned from experience in life yet, let me tell you, when everyone wants to be your friend, it’s either because they’re there for you no matter what or because...

...candidates for the earliest attested example of Old English poetry. It is also one of the earliest recorded examples of sustained poetry in a Germanic language. The poem, The Dream of the Rood, was inscribed upon the Ruthwell Cross.[17]
Chronicles contained a range of historical and literary accounts, and a notable example is the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle. This is a collection of annals in Old English chronicling the history of the Anglo-Saxons. Nine manuscripts survive in whole or in part, though not all are of equal historical value and none of them is the original version. The oldest seems to have been started towards the end of King Alfred's reign in the 9th century, and the most recent was written at Peterborough Abbey in 1116. Almost all of the material in the Chronicle is in the form of annals by year, the earliest being dated at 60 BC (the annals' date for Caesar's invasions of Britain), and historical material follows up to the year in which the chronicle was written, at which point contemporary records begin.[18]
The poem Battle of Maldon also deals with history. This is the name given to a work, of uncertain date, celebrating the real Battle of Maldon of 991, at which the Anglo-Saxons failed to prevent a Viking invasion. Only 325 lines of the poem are extant; both the beginning and the ending are lost.[19]
The Wanderer is an Old English poem preserved only in an anthology known as the Exeter Book, a manuscript dating from the late 10th...

...10 “Bad” Things That Are Actually Good for You

1. Computer Games
They isolate children socially and distract them from learning, right? Think again. Researchers have found that kids who clock up regular console time can improve their hand-eye coordination, their grip on science, even their IQ.
Clock up means make a record of
Console means comfort
A British study of 700 children found that simulation games developed children's strategic thinking and planning skills. And researchers from the Department of Computing Science at the University of Alberta suggest that computer games can be a great way to explain physics concepts. Their game Siege integrates the concept of projectile movement and brings the effects of wind velocity and vertical angle into play.
Simulation means recreational

In another project, done in 2004, students at Edmonton's Holy Trinity Catholic High School created their own computer-game stories. Findings showed that while only one third of the students were interested in writing a second story as a traditional narrative, two thirds wanted to write another interactive story — even if it meant homework!
BUT WATCH OUT!
Some games can create stress-like symptoms, with younger children more affected because they...

...First on the list of irritating things is traffic jams. Going to town on weekends or holidays is never enjoyable because of the perpetual traffic jams that choke the streets.
The inability to move freely is already bad. To make things worse, there are irresponsible or poor drivers who cut across lanes without signaling, stop suddenly or generally do not seem to be aware of the danger they cause to others or to themselves. Then there are idiots who talk on the mobile phones while driving, or kids who stick their heads out of the window, kids who sit on their daddy's lap, and one day I saw a man actually shaving in his car while we crawled along !
The top offenders are definitely the motorcyclists who weave in and out of traffic without a care for their own safety. No wonder they top the list of road fatalities.
Finally reaching our destination brings no joy either because usually there is no place to park. So when we go to town, we go in pairs, one to drive and the other to get down to do whatever is necessary. Otherwise we stay home and avoid the irritation.
The second most irritating thing is inconsiderate people. Examples are people who throw rubbish on sidewalks, roads and out of moving cars. Out of sight and out of mind for them, but how about others who have to put up with the rubbish or clean it up ? Sadly the worst offenders are occupants of luxury cars. God knows what is behind...

...In recent years life has greatly improved. The standard of living is higher and all people can afford to buy things they couldn't in the past. I truly believe that life today is better and many things make people happy.
To begin with, unless people are healthy; a person's life is unbearable and not worth living. When my father was seriously ill in hospital, I clearly remember how nothing else mattered to any of us, and we then learnt that the people we love are more important than money.
Then there's the question of your boyfriend or girlfriend. I don't think it matters if they're rich - although it would be nice! What more important is whether you see eye to eye. I once went out with a really rich guy bi we didn't get on and I finished with him. This shows that money isn't everything.
Also, statistics show that different people can be unhappy. Rich people can be just as unhappy as poor people. So why do some people always say that money is everything? I know they're wrong to think that. Money can't buy happiness.
But it's nice to live a life of luxury. Why take the bus when you can take a taxi? And why not send your children to the best schools and pay for the best doctors? There's no doubt about it, it's a good feeling being rich and powerful.
So, money is great - while it lasts! But you can't beat having a good time. So if...
